Muldis::D

PREFACE
This distribution features the pure documentation file named Muldis::D
(Formal spec of Muldis D relational DBMS lang) and its support structure.
Read below for how to get support or keep up to date.
DOCUMENTATION READING ORDER
If you want to read all the Muldis D documentation that exists now in
this distribution, I recommend doing so in this order:
1. README
2. (opt) Changes
3. lib/Muldis/D.pm
4. lib/Muldis/D/Basics.pod
5. lib/Muldis/D/Core.pod
a. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Types.pod
b. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Types_Catalog.pod
c. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Routines.pod
d. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Routines_Catalog.pod
6. lib/Muldis/D/Dialect/PTMD_Tiny.pod
7. lib/Muldis/D/Dialect/HDMD_Perl6_Tiny.pod
8. lib/Muldis/D/Dialect/HDMD_Perl5_Tiny.pod
9. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Conventions.pod
10. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Ordered.pod

20. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Temporal.pod
21. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Spatial.pod
22. lib/Muldis/D/SeeAlso.pod
23. (opt) TODO
Then you can carry on with anything else.
You may prefer the nicely HTML-formatted versions of the above, which are
available at "http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-D/".
See also these directories in this distribution:
1. archives/
2. util/
Each of those directories has its own README file explaining their
contents, which includes things like presentation slides and language
modules for text editors.
KEEPING UP TO DATE
My module set is constantly under development. The canonical copies are
all linked to through my personal website, "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/",
on the page called "Perl Libraries I Made" (name subject to change). Some
of these modules are also linked to through my business website,
"http://www.muldis.com/", on its front page.
For those of you that are interested in the bleeding edge of development, I
have all parts of the Muldis D project in one or more public repositories.
The Muldis D project is in a Git repository whose Git read-access url is
"git://utsl.gen.nz/Muldis-D" and whose Gitweb information url is at
"http://utsl.gen.nz/gitweb/?p=Muldis-D".
In the near future I will also be using a GitHub public repository, under
"http://github.com/muldis/", to host this project.
You can download slightly older versions of all of my modules from the
public CPAN archives at "http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/", or
on my own web server at "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/d/perl/".
CPAN also extracts the POD from modules and maintains that documentation in
an organized and searchable fashion. Their main search site is at
"http://search.cpan.org", and my own DUNCAND author page is at
"http://search.cpan.org/search?author=DUNCAND".
The main CPAN search site url for Muldis D is
"http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-D/"; that is the url you should link to
presently if you want something to consider the "home page" of Muldis D; it
is best to refer people there by default.
You can download my oldest tarred and gzipped distributions from BACKPAN,
at "http://history.perl.org/backpan/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/", or from my
web server, at "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/d/perl/archives/", right back
to the libdwg 1.0, first released on 2000 July 23.
SUPPORT
Several public email-based forums exist whose main topic is all
implementations of the Muldis D language, especially the Muldis Rosetta
reference implementation, but also the Set::Relation module. They exist so
that Muldis D / Muldis Rosetta users can help each other, or that help
coming from Muldis D / Muldis Rosetta developers can be said once to many
people, rather than to each individually. All of these you can reach via
"http://mm.DarrenDuncan.net/mailman/listinfo".
Alternately, you can purchase more advanced commercial support for various
Muldis D implementations, particularly Muldis Rosetta, from its author by
way of Muldis Data Systems; see "http://www.muldis.com/" for details.
